Hi all! We hope you had a great Labor Day weekend and are gearing up for fall golf. This is the time of year that we evaluate our golf wardrobe for the coming season and are so excited to have added Honors to ours. Today we welcome the three founders of Honors: Amy Anderson, Huntley Rodes and Jenna Walter. The trio all picked up golf throughout their lives and found the limited golf apparel options they had to choose from to be ill-fitting, bright colors and prints that didn't match their preferred style and aesthetic. We chatted about how their individual experiences came together to create this beautiful, modern and chic brand that we can't wait for you to explore! Follow along with Honors on their Instagram, @wearhonors and shop the collection at wearhonors.com.
